I went to see this play to support my son, Jeremy Borum, who played the keyboard. I had no idea what to expect and was happily surprised by it. It was delightful! The props were minimal but perfectly adequate to get the message across (great use a chair for a time machine!). I also thought the song writing quite good and the actors/singers did the songs and the story justice. I was impressed by the volunteer talent and would see these people act again. I enjoyed my evening very much. This play made me want to see more of these types of productions.... full review

The Time Machine Musical is a one-hour condensed version of a longer two act musical adapted for the Fringe by Steve Altman and Joshua Fardon based on the H.G. Wells sci-fi story. Fardon directs what is in essence a memorized staged reading style production with cast members seated in chairs at the back of the stage when not in scenes. Altman is responsible for the book, music & lyrics and also stars as the production’s leading man, William Parke, aka the time traveler. Parke invents a time machine and travels to the future where he finds that humans have evolved into two groups; the Eloi, who spend their days in a hallucinogen haze, and the evil Morlocks who rule over them. To serve the time frame (no pun intended) of the Fringe schedule... full review
